The Question Bounties program will attach prizes once it is funded.\"\n---\n\n## Why it matters\n\nGood intentions are not good outcomes. Some programs have made things worse, and others may have delayed the structural fixes that would have helped more. A science of giving has to study harm as carefully as help.\n\n## Where to start\n\nThe [Failure Archive](/record/failure-archive/) collects documented cases. The work is to find the patterns that connect them.\n",
